Loading $USER in GComm?

Hi guys. I've been trying to get the equivelant of $USER (in LSQL) to work in GCommunity. I have;

Code:
    use strict; 
    use GT::Base; 
    use GT::Plugins qw/STOP CONTINUE/; 
    use Community qw/$CFG $IN $DB/; 

# Inherit from base class for debug and error methods 
    @Plugins::Community::SupportManager::ISA = qw(GT::Base); 

    Community::comm_init($CFG->{'path_private'});

... but that still doesn't seem to load the user options. How do I grab details such as <%current_username%> and such?

TIA

Andy,

I don't know if this is any help or whether it may lead you in the right direction but this was a subject where I was trying to figure out from the GComm user whether they where editor or not (but in conjunction with LinksSQL). There maybe something discussed there that helps you out :

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly it doesn't help Frown

Basically, the current user is normally set in $USER. I tried doing this in GCommunity, but I guess they use a different method. Maybe I'd better start routing around the core files, and see how GT do it <G>

Cheers

Yes,
somehow I didn't think that it was today that I was going to teach my favorite coder something. But don't worry the day will come Wink

Have a nice week-end ! Smile
